I remember when I opened this blog about a week ago.  I did so with the intent of posting everyday.  Yet, I know me, I would have to find some sort of inspiration to do that and not many things inspire me.

Today, I was in the shower thinking about that opening paragraph.  I wanted to write today but I felt so uninspired.  That’s when it hit me; stop seeking inspiration outside of myself and look within.  Something I have lived out many times during various things in my life, but I was never able to put words to it until now.

Finding inspiration within myself becomes easier to do now that I’m able to put some words to it.  It’s similar to having depression.  I always knew something was off but it wasn’t until I had a name for it that it became easier to deal with and manage.  I would think that applies to almost everything in life.  Because some of our bigger struggles often have no name or identity.

It’s when we can recognize what is going on that we can actively do something about it.  Thus, here I am seeking my inspiration from within.  Because there is no power outside of myself that can do for me what the power within me can do.  That is where my drive, passions, desires, inner fire, heart and soul lie.  That is where God communicates with us the most and strengthens us.

No matter how much we plan, prepare, and expect things in our lives, there is nothing on Earth that can overcome that inner man thy can NOT be destroyed or killed.  It can be weakened, thought as nothing, and even; by our own choices, left wanting.  Yet, it is within that we find out who and what we truly are.
